Louis XV and Louis XVI sculptures: the grace and elegance of the 18th century
Wood carvings in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles are synonymous with luxury and sophistication. The Louis XV style, also known as Rococo, is characterised by sinuous forms, graceful curves and intricate decorative motifs, often inspired by nature. Sculptures from this period capture lightness and elegance, with common themes such as mythological scenes, putti and floral motifs.
In contrast, the Louis XVI style is more sober and symmetrical, reflecting a transition to Neoclassicism. Sculptures from this period feature straight lines and geometric motifs, with a marked influence from Greek and Roman Antiquity. Popular subjects include busts of famous personalities, representations of classical divinities and allegorical scenes.
The Empire: The grandeur and majesty of Napoleon Bonaparte
The Empire style, popularised during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, is characterised by a grandeur and majesty that seeks to recall the glory of the Roman Empire. Wood carvings from this period are often imposing and adorned with imperial symbols such as eagles, laurel wreaths and sphinxes. Military themes were also predominant, with representations of war heroes, battle scenes and busts of Napoleon himself.
Napoleon III: An eclectic mix of styles
The Napoleon III, or Second Empire, period was marked by an eclecticism that drew on various stylistic influences from the past. Wood sculptures from this period reflect this diversity, with pieces inspired by Neoclassicism, Baroque, Renaissance and even Orientalism. This mix of styles creates a visual richness and variety that makes it possible to find unique and distinctive pieces for any type of interior.
Art Nouveau: nature and movement at the heart of design
Art Nouveau, which emerged at the end of the 19th century, is an artistic movement that emphasises organic forms and natural motifs. Wood sculptures from this period are characterised by their fluid lines, elegant curves and attention to detail. Common themes include graceful women, often draped in flowing gowns, stylised plants and animals. These works capture the beauty and dynamism of nature, bringing a touch of natural elegance to your space.
Art Deco: the bold modernity of the 1920s
Art Deco, which reached its peak in the 1920s and 1930s, is synonymous with modernity and boldness. Wood sculptures from this period are characterised by their geometric shapes, clean lines and stylised motifs. The use of luxurious materials and innovative techniques gives these works a distinctive and refined character. Common themes include human figures in dynamic poses, abstract motifs and representations of speed and progress.
Contemporary design: creativity without limits
Contemporary wood sculpture design pushes the boundaries of creativity and innovation. Contemporary artists explore new techniques, materials and forms to create unique works that reflect current trends and societal concerns. Contemporary sculptures can be abstract or figurative, minimalist or complex, but they all share a commitment to experimentation and originality. These pieces bring a touch of modernity and sophistication to any space.
